No, generally the patriots were farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, or other just regular guys. They were not very well funded and could not afford proper military formalities.

They would put on whatever their regular clothes were and take off. Yet after the Battle of Saratoga, France started funding America, and got uniforms along with other supplies. A Continental soldier's attire included a cocked hat, a waist coat and regiment coat, breeches, long stockings, and leather shoes. Two cross-belts strapped over his shoulders, one used for a cartridge box, and one to hold a bayonet in place on either side of his hips. A white cotton or linen waist coat was under the soldier's overcoat. These overcoats were either blue or brown (depending on which state a soldier belonged to).
